Pinochet - Recently Disclosed Information

On the eve of our discussing the Pinochet case in class, the New York Times ran an article disclosing new information on Pinochet's involvement in, and the CIA's views on, the notorious assassination of a former Chilean ambassador with a bomb in Washington D.C. An old article in The Nation discusses the relationship between Kissinger and Pinochet, and Kissinger's failure to deter Pinochet from acting against the ambassador. Finally, here is an account in The Atlantic on the CIA's role in the coup in Chile on September 11, 1973, which overthrew a democratically elected government and brought Pinochet to power.
